Nonesense Ibadan accent.
Shame on u... Didn't u have a childhood... Or u just want form say u no remember how back in the days children say tiri instead of 3...and it simply a count as you dance... Simply, 123step... Linda, block all this olodos na.. Abeg commotioor

ReplyDeletePs: the words are so clear, who are this ppl that can't seem to hear anything? Na wa o. Haha
No post is complete on Linda's blog without snide comments. So it's expected. Nikki no mind em, they just have to find something bad to say about a flawless video. E Ku ise o

ReplyDeleteTHE F is 'ONE, TWO, TIRI'.....POOR LYRICS. NICE MOVES THOU.
ReplyDeleteHonestly am tired of funny ppl commenting on Linda's blog. There is no F with the song. It's a praise song to God. Have respect even if you don't have sense.
DeleteWat song did u listen to? Poor comment dude. After all I taught you, you still dey do this nonsense wey u dey do. You done pass this level oh. If you no Sabi comment no come here dey embarrass yourself again oh.
DeleteCome on.. Yes you are entitled to your opinion but if you don't have a sense of humor to get the 'tiri' in the song, then leave it. It's not by force to comment
DeleteLike the song says, 'no be say we dey craze, na our God we dey praise.' if that's poor lyrics to you, then I feel sorry for u sha.. When did Nigerians become dull people.All this many secular songs don't even have as much meaning as this simple song. Nikki I love the song jare, keep repping the kingdom and forget this naysayers
